1. It's not easy anymore. If your computer came with a fax card

you can plug a phone line in it and send a fax out that way. There are also online faxing companies that would allow you to send one, but there is usually a small charge.

2. no land line anymore. that's why i was curious if there was a way to use my comp and cable

6. thanks. i've save that page. i'll probably just go down the street some place.

it's not a big deal, i was looking into it for future reference also. i'm thinking about working from my home and want to avoid having a land-line.

3. What version of windows are you running?

Assuming you are using Windows?

4. Vista - ugh!

and my opinion of vista is that it runs ok, but they made unneccesary and annoyng changes to the GUI.

7. From the internets ...

Windows Fax and Scan, available in the Business, Ultimate, and Enterprise editions of Windows Vista, makes it easy to send and receive faxes, scan documents and images, and share those items with others-right from your computer.

If you upgraded from XP, Fax should be there, else you need one of these to have it built in.

8. hmm. this machine came loaded w/ vista.

let me look around. :hi:

9. it's home premium. no fax and scan but there seems to be some 3rd party stuff out there.
